Climate change will cost poor countries billions of dollars, studies say | John Vidal | Global development | guardian.co.uk
Africa, notoriously, has the worst roads in the world because its extremes of sun and rain bake them dry or leave them cratered and impassable for months at a time. The whole continent, which is physically larger than China, western Europe, India and the US together, still only has 171,000 km of all-weather roads - less than a country like Poland.
Now it can expect an extra $183bn bill just to maintain its few paved roads over the next 60 years because of the impact of climate change.
